It’s entirely possible he knows the culture from long-time lurking. I understand that, and it is possible indeed. But what makes me suspicious is that when **Dave88** asks him in the IQ thread > [@Poll: what's your IQ score](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-whats-your-iq-score/1001840/8): > > How did you find this site? Why did you decide to post here? his reply is > [@Poll: what's your IQ score](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-whats-your-iq-score/1001840/10): > > If you don’t like a thread it’s best not to comment on it. It kinda gives it more visibility when you do that. > > Ignore it and it goes away which looks too clever by half to me. And when in the same thread **Dave88** insists, repeating his question he answers > [@Poll: what's your IQ score](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-whats-your-iq-score/1001840/19): > > I thought you’d get the message when I ignored your prying questions that they wouldn’t get answered. Frankly don’t like the tone and completely Off topic that I won’t justify them with a response > > It basically amounts to “Why are you here”, like you’re in some exclusive club and I’ve socially engineered or hacked my way in it… and now you have to interrogate this person to figure out what’s going on lol > > Site couldn’t be more public, it’s just not popular How can I express it? It looks strange to me that a long term lurker finally enters the conversation and hits the ground running with a barrage of polls (plus the orca thread and the video game thread, as **Jophiel** has pointed out, granted). Plus his reaction to a legitimate question. At least it seemed legitimate to me. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-would-you-like-to-pit-humans/1001947)._
